My Community Involvement

Community involvement is important not only to show that you are taking interest in the community but it shows that you are willing to help people and try bringing about some sort of a positive change even if it is on a small-scale. Some activities that I have been involved within the community are:

1. Helped organize 7 blood donor clinics for the Canadian Blood Services
2. Involved with Knights Table Soup Kitchen
3. Involved in running for breast cancer with CIBC (Breast Run) and “5 Kliks for Kids” (Peel Children’s Aid Walk)

These activities have allowed me to showcase that by helping the community you are trying to make the environment that you live in a more enjoyable one not only for yourself but the people around you. This can relate to my career goal because by making the work environment more enjoyable and showing people that you genuinely care, it helps your fellow co-workers be at ease with you and also shows that you can be approachable at anytime regarding a problem or just to give advice.
